See http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html And read the installation instructions www.debian.org BEFORE commencing the installation. If you follow the instructions exactly from both places you will have far less trouble. HTH Ivan. At 01:53 AM 2/2/99 -0800, Joo Hwan Jang

I tried checking the source code of svgalib - if it's going to remain as difficult as it seems I may find a simpler project. I was hoping that there would be a simple method of getting permission from the kernel for this operation and for direct access to video memory/registers. Thanks for the reply Marcus. Ivan.

brary Yet dselect claims svgalib is installed. Do I need to install svgalib-bin ? I have vga.h in the usr/src tree - is this where it should be ? Where is the vga library that needs to be linked ? Thanks for your help. Ivan.

missing libraries on svgalibg1 install

1999-04-11 Thread ivan
rtant libraries (presumably so) ? where can I get these libraries ? do I need to reinstall svgalib to make svgalib aware of them ? can I reinstall svgalib without the purge/dselect routine ? TIA Ivan.

Re: missing libraries on svgalibg1 install

Further to my questions, I have checked /usr/lib (stupid not to have done so earlier !) and the libraries do in fact exist. Why then does ldconfig generate an error and does this mean that the installation is broken even though dselect didn't return an error ? Sorry for my silly mistake. Ivan.
